Eight Mile Flat camping area (Mansfield region)

Campsite

Not surprisingly, Eight Mile Flat is just beyond Seven Mile Flat along Brocks Track, off which it’s signposted. This access road, which leads off Howqua Track off Mt Buller Rd, is a 4WD affair – off-road camper trailers can be towed down this way too. The camping area is beside the Howqua River, and you’ll need to cross a small creek to reach it. Note: Eight Mile Flat is subject to seasonal closure.

Information

Alpine National Park is a sublime patchwork of landscapes that extend from Lake Dartmouth in the north to the Snowy Range in the south, and between Mt Buller in the west and the Murray River in the east. One of Victoria’s biggest national parks, at 646 000 ha, it hosts myriad activities for all seasons, including skiing and snowboarding, hiking, cycling and rock climbing. It also has magnificent vistas, ranging from brilliant wildflowers to spectacular summits. Note: some of the region’s roads are closed during winter.
